Document Description
The originally approved project consists of an amendment to Title 19 Kern County Zoning Ordinance (July 2012), with focus on Ch. 19.98 (Oil and Gas Production), to include new site development standards for all oil and gas exploration, extraction, operations, and production activities in unincorporated Kern County.
DOGGR, as the Responsible Agency, will be issuing a permit for the proposed project activity, which consists of the following:
Aera Energy LLC (Aera) proposes to hydraulically fracture 7 wells which is expected to take 3 days, or less per well, including placement of portable tanks and all ancillary equipment to support the closed loop system, as well as the well stimulation treatments. The wells are in a densely developed oilfield (South Belridge) and were directionally drilled in 2016.
